hooralph Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Such a weird, sick feeling here. I hope to get outside for a walk today, but here where I am, damage is nothing worse than - dare I say it - a typical fall noreaster: leaves and some branches. My biggest personal problem is getting completely stir crazy and trying to work while we entertain our son. So it's surreal knowing all this damage we are seeing on TV and hearing first hand is so close. I know I am lucky and have to remember that in the coming weeks when things will be far from normal.

JonClaw Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 The damage in Forest Park, Queens is incredible. Some trees stripped of bark! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthlight Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 This is absolutely the most remarkable weather event I've seen especially in terms of impact. There are 10 or more trees down on my block alone...on houses, cars. Roads are blocked. We had a huge tree fall and miss our home by less than 5 feet. Cannot believe the extent of damage around here.

Chris L Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I am basically blocked in. 3 streets are all closed due to trees down and all. I will be cleaning it up in the afternoon. Sandy was by far and away the most impactful event we have seen in the area for a long, long, long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ag3 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Sorry to hear Noreaster27. My cousin lives in Hoboken and the town is destroyed. There's a gas leak and his entire block is being evacuated with boats. Thoughts and prayers to him, his wife and their 8 month old baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjr231 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Reports from friends out of Hoboken are devastating. Glad I took this seriously and decided to leave. Have this site to thank for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friedmators Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 In terms of damage, it's the worst storm in Northeast US history and will be the most expensive natural disaster in US History. I don't think that point will really be debatable. We are lucky we had the freak blizzard last Halloween and Irene to take down large amounts of weak trees and limbs already. I can only imagine all of that coming down in one storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooralph Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 A minor issue all things considered, but people keep retweeting/sharing pictures of the flooded 86 st subway station in Brooklyn claiming it is Manhattan - either Lexiington Ave or CPW. Be wary of misinformation spreading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow_Miser Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I'm about to go out and survey the damage in my town. There are actually three trees down in my backyard. Two of my neighbours have structual damage, and I have some roof damage. Will post pictures if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunny and Warm Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Not even close there fella. Katrina was $41B insured loss (46.5B inlation adjusted). Sandy might get to 15B insured. "might". I think you're grossly underestimating Sandy's impact when all is said and done. Every town along coastal Jersey, including AC, were under water at some point yesterday. That's tens of thousands of homes and businesses with water and wind damage. You do the math. Then add on infrastructure damage in metro areas. Then visit CT, PA, MD, NYS, RI, MA, VA, WV, and add all that up. Not to mention MI, OH, IL, and IN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaner587 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 From my parents in south Merrick returning to check on the house...complete destruction. Boats strewn all about. Surge made it to within 1 ft of my parents front door. Unbelievably lucky. Sorry to hear about the damage some of you guys experienced. It is truly scary to see what has occurred on such a large scale. I wish the best of luck to people who are/were in harms way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
